      Unreal!!! I'm so happy I don't have a house with a garage because before I knew it I'd be staring at boxes of parts too! Great job.

            More pics of the cooking Wok

            Cylinders look a lot worse



            Now for some Harbor Freight spot media blasting (walnut shells)


            Looks pretty good but I still have to get the valves out and do under the valves.

              OK Lets make some progress with the Clutch

              First the new oil pump. Locktite that little screw. When the PO creamed the Tach gear some metal got into the old pump so, as to not loose any sleep at night I got a new pump




              And new gears installed from Schnitz




              A new rubber nubber



              And a new clutch inner hub

                Painting Phase 2 Update

                Ok I did not get as far as I wanted as getting the head and cylinder off and getting all the parts painted was a first priority so I could get the new parts on order.

                I did get almost everything remaining that is supposed to be black. All clear coating, inner fender and tool box still remain along with all of the body parts

                Wheels took a while; about 1 hour per wheel. If you use a Razer,. you can cut off the tape at the edge so you are not trying to line up the tape, but rather cut it to the edge. Hold the safety razor at an angle and just slice the tape. It makes a nice clean line.






                Laugh if you like, but using the painting schedule really helped alot. You can waste a few gallons of paint thinner to just clean out your gun unless you plan it out and minimize how many different loads of paint you have to mix.

                    Good stuff!!!
                    So the pistons and valves are stock?
                    Are you going to get some new rings?
                    I never saw anyone paint rotors before. Won't this create havoc on the brake pads?

                        I asked this question a while back.



                        I decided to just paint the whole thing except the mounting flange, and have the machines clean the whole think up. 6 disks are out to this guy.



                        Pistion look stock and mic out to just under 72 mm. It is all that carbon increasing the compression unless the head was decked......

                        Ordered all from Bike bandit today including the rear tensioner from APE.


                        SUZUKI GS1100 / 1150 CAM CHAIN TENSIONER GUIDE
                        This is the guide in the back of the block that the tensioner pushes against. Racers know that the stock guide is always breaking or the rubber gets torn up by the chain. This new guide is made from space age composites with a very low drag co-efficent. Helps keep cams in time for more power.

                            When you're done practicing on your painting skills I'll bring mine over for a little touch up.
                            The whole damn thing! :-D

                                Forks and Antidive

                                Ok I'm going to do some updates to this link. I am under the gun to get the bike ready for the July Yosemite trip, I'm not sure I will get the GS1100ED ready for the pre-ride, but it is still a possibility mainly depending upon how the paint job goes and how smooth the rest of the assembly is.

                                Anyway I am going to post a few additions organized as to the work. First the forks.

                                Here is a picture of most of the parts for the forks staged after cleaning, painting the bottom tubes and polishing the main fork tubes. New parts included in the picture are:

                                Progressive springs
                                Racetech Cartridge emulators
                                New OEM teflon parts (upper and lower)
                                New poil seal and dust covers
                                New O-rings
                                Fabricated Block off plates for the Antidive.
                                The damper rods have been drilled
                                Anti dive units have all of the parts removed



                                Here is a close up of the cleaned antidive parts with home made block off plates and gaskets. These parts keep teh fork oil in the fork and out of the anti dive units. I still need to block off the banjo brake lines.



                                I plann on blocking off the banjos that feed the anti dive units at teh caliper. That way the ant-dive units, and the lines to them remain dry but ertain teh stock look externally. I used a dremel tool, routed out the hole in teh banjo and filled it wit hJB weld, let it dry and then coated with some Por-15 Hardnose paint which is resistant to chemicals. With where this blocked teh brake pressure is trying to push a lump of JB weld through the line toward the Ant-dive unit.
